#1 Crush
By Lady Frieza
Chapter two

See your face every place that I walk in
Hear your voice every time I am talking
You will believe in me
And I will never be ignored

I will burn for you
Feel pain for you
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart
I'll tear it apart
- Garbage

As time went by Frieza had learned to care the street urchin Tituba. It wasn't easy for him, mind you, because he had never before cared for some one like this. The only one he had loved up to this point may have been his older brother Kooler or his mother...

However Frieza still had his vain obsession with Goku and his family. No one could ever take that place up in his wicked heart, not even Tituba. That was at least his thinking on the matter. Although he might never have been sure, but the events that followed this exact same year were devastating to him. Maybe even enough to over cloud his seething hatred for his long time rival... Son Goku the Legendary Super Saiyajin.

"I cannot believe that you married that woman." Kold said with annoyance that was sharper than a two edged sword.

"Yes father." Frieza replied pensively.

"Frieza I do not like to be ignored."

"I know papa." Frieza examined one of his shiny black nails absently. "I'll try to be a better listener from now on."

"But I guess having a half - breed daughter-in-law is better than nothing at all." His tail gyrated irritably, knowing his son was too much submerged in his own state of bliss to pay him any mind. "Of course I always thought that you and Kooler could get married." He peered at his son closely wondering if he would snap out of his zone.

"I always thought so too papa." Frieza grinned, deciding to play with his father. "I always thought he had a great looking body."

"NANI?!" His father's large voice cut through the air. "Really?!"

"Oh yes I've told him several times." Frieza smiled at his father's foolishness. "Papa do you actually believe that crap I just said?"

Kold sat down again in complete bafflement. "You were playing with me!" He declared and threw his head back in laughter. All too soon his face became serious again, he reached out and took Frieza by the back of the neck. "Don't you ever do that to me again! Do you hear me boy?!"

"Y - Yes papa." Frieza was dropped to the ground and kicked away from his father.

"Now leave I have no more time for your silly games." Kold laughed, seeming to take pleasure in his son's suffering and pain.

Frieza nodded hastily, bowed quickly and left his father to himself. I'll kill him one day I'll swear it! he thought. I wonder if Vegeta was thinking the same thing I was. He grinned at the thought and made his way down the corridor.

"Frieza!" Tituba called out, waddling down the hall way.

"Nani?" Frieza turned a smile to his new wife, and her... round figure. "Ah, Tituba, and how are we today?"

She grinned at him, her purple eyes had an odd shining light to them. "WE are doing fine."

"That is good." He touched her stomach. "I think he will be a fine addition to the family and one day he might fight along side me when I'm facing those monkeys!" His face shifted angrily.

Tituba sighed. He was impossible to talk too. As much as she loved him she couldn't change the way he thought. All she could do is watch him destroy himself over a lost cause and hope that one day she would see him when all of this was over. Maybe after he died he would loose his obsession, and when they were together once again he would spend more time with her. Frieza ranted on, not knowing how his actions and words were affecting the one he loved most.

Much Later....

Frieza passed around the room. Asked ever doctor that went by how Tituba was and if the baby was fine. All the doctors and nurses would smile and remind him that only five minutes have gone by since he asked him last and not much has happened.

Why wouldn't they let me go in there?! He was about to stomp in there himself if they didn't tell him something soon! What is taking so long damn it?! He looked at the clock on the wall, it said that three minutes have gone by. WHAT?! That thing is broken! How could that be?! More time than that must have passed I am sure of it!

He passed around a little more then informed one of the doctors that the clock on the wall was broken. The doctor checked the wall clock with his own and saw little or no difference, but decided not to argue. He gave Frieza the band from his arm and took the aggravatingly slow clock off the wall.

This is broken too! Frieza muttered obscenities. What is wrong with all of the watches and clocks today?!

"Frieza, how has Tituba been doing?" His father's deep voice laughed, obviously he found his son in a state of complete shock funny.

"Oh papa!" Frieza flung himself around. "Can you tell me what time it is?"

Kold frowned. "I would tell you but there is no clock on the wall. You have a watch in you hand." He observed. "I know you can tell time."

"But it's broken." Frieza complained.

"Let me see." Kold held out his hand to receive the little device, he observed it closely, wishing he would have brought his glasses. "Ah, it seems about right." He nodded and handed it back to his son.

"But it can't be!" Frieza's foot drummed on the floor like a humming bird's wings. "That's impossible! I don't believe it!"

Kold shook his head. His son was babbling like a lunatic. "I will see you soon Frieza." He looked back over his shoulder at his smallest son. I worry about you sometimes Frieza... maybe I shouldn't have had three children after all.

"Zarbon - san?" Tituba's eyes were watering as Zarbon held her over his head.

"Think you can make a fool out of me huh?" he chuckled. "Don't worry we won't hurt the little one. As for you... well let's just say there won't be much of you to look at."

"W - What are you going to do to me?!" Her eyes shone with fear and pain.

"I'm going to kill you of course. Oh and if you think Frieza will find out... he won't. Believe me, all of the doctors and nurses are counting on this. They really don't want more of you lizards hanging around. We'll let Frieza have this one baby though." His eyes gleamed. "Too bad for you though."

"H - He'll find out one day that you did this to me!" She sobbed, feeling his fingers tighten around her throat. "He'll know!"

"Sounds like wishful thinking. He doesn't care about you! all you are to him is a way to keep the family going."

Tituba didn't need to say anything more, she knew what was in her husband's heat, she didn't need to know what this man thought he knew. "You'll die one day for destroying me! You will! And may God have mercy on your pathetic soul! Your going to hell for what you are doing!"

"I'm sure sleeping with the devil will insure your passage there too." Zarbon didn't waste his breath on her anymore. He reached into her and tore out the child. Tituba screamed like a mad woman, blood slipping from her body in a gush. She looked at the screaming child Zarbon held up by the tail. "Goodnight Queen Frieza."

Tituba's last thought was that she would never get to see her baby grow up. And how she would never see the look on her husband's face when he found out that it was a girl. It was so comical that she smiled as her last breath exited her lungs.

You might not be a boy, but you will do. I'll teach you everything I know... and we will have so much fun together. Just wait and see. Frieza promised his new daughter as he rocked in his chair. He stayed that way silently through the night, holding his child in his arms, whispering softly to her.

Tituba... he looked out the window watching the cool night air play with the tree branches. We have only known each other for such a short time, but I believe that it seemed longer than that. I wish I would have paid better attention to you. For the time we had together was not enough, and I still had so much to say, but was to proud to say it. All I did was speak of the Saiyajin, my anger stole our time away, and I can never bring it back. I promise that I will keep our child safe, for you if not for me. I'll keep her safe.

His face took on a serious expression. I think I actually loved you my darling.

The wind changed course, blowing in through the window. A single tear skittered down his face, he gave fault to the wind for this happening and nothing more. Good bye my dearest, I shall miss you.
